Hi All,
I hope I'm posting this to the appriopriate list, and that cross posting to two lists is OK. (If not, I'm sure I'll hear about it quickly :))
I'm running Asterisk on my (new) VIA EPIA-V motherboard. This seems to be the ideal platform for a home version of asterisk - its small, quiet, low power, and should have plenty of computing horsepower if only it would work!
I'm running Redhat 9, Kernel 2.4.20-8, and Asterisk from CVS-HEAD-07/07/04-21:01:10 The phones in my house talk to asterisk via a Sipura SPA-2000. I have a X100p card (not from Digium, I regret, but one of the "OEM" cards sold by Diginetworks). Here' is a snipit from the boot log:
Sep 14 06:32:18 anchor kernel: Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 Sep 14 06:32:18 anchor zaptel: Loading zaptel framework: succeeded Sep 14 06:32:19 anchor kernel: wcfxo: DAA mode is 'FCC' Sep 14 06:32:19 anchor kernel: Found a Wildcard FXO: Wildcard X101P Sep 14 06:32:20 anchor kernel: usb.c: registered new driver wcusb Sep 14 06:32:20 anchor kernel: Wildcard USB FXS Interface driver registered Sep 14 06:32:21 anchor kernel: Registered tone zone 0 (United States / North America) Sep 14 06:32:21 anchor zaptel: Running ztcfg: succeeded
Everything works perfectly, except for the following problem: Sporadically -- about once in 6 hrs, Asterisk reports a "Red Alarm" from the X100p. Thereafter, the X100p no longer works -- no outgoing calls can be placed; no incoming calls answered. The problem can be cleared in one of two ways - the phone line can be unplugged and plugged back in again, or asterisk can be shut down, the zaptel module uloaded from the kernel, and then reloaded.
Here is another snipit from the log:
Sep 13 05:40:50 NOTICE[16384]: registered database handle 'mysql1' dsn->[MySQL-asterisk] Sep 13 05:40:50 NOTICE[16384]: registered database handle 'mysql2' dsn->[MySQL-asterisk] Sep 13 05:40:50 NOTICE[16384]: res_odbc loaded.

Also, from time to time something goes wrong (maybe one call in 5) while a call is in progress, and instead of hearing the person's voice, one hears garbage sounds -- odd tones and pops.
The X100p worked reliably for several weeks on my old dual processor 400Mhz pentium box running the same Redhat kernel and Asterisk source.
The Via box is otherwise completely stable. I've tried just about every
conievable BIOS setting on the Via box, I've recompiled asterisk,
zaptel and the kernel specifying i386 as the archetecture. I've run
memtest86 in the hope of finding a memory problem.
I've tried a 2.6 kernel (2.6.6 with special "via" patches) with exactly the same results.
Has anyone else out there got this configuration to work?
My choices now seem to be 1) Buy a new X100p (from Digium this time!) 2) Buy a new motherboard - (I'd like to keep the low-power, low noise and mini-itx form factor) 3) Give up on the X100p and get a Sipura SPA-3000 for an FXO port - I'd loose the timer, so music-on-hold might not work so well
Anyone have any other suggestions? Other things I might try? Ways I could go about debugging this?
